I ask the question: Who is the government? The answer is we are. It’s time that Congress takes a hit. Reduce their pay by one third and do away with their perks and benefits. Then they will understand what most of us are going through. Big business, big government: They’re selling us out to a world economy and ultimately a world government. This is not a Republican or Democrat issue; it’s our survival as a sovereign nation. Wake up, America. — Don, Greeley

The Bush came on TV telling us not to drive a lot to conserve energy, and yet he’s sending billions of dollars over to Iraq on a war that was built on a lie. Tell him to tell Halliburton not to be stealing contracts, not to be stealing money. And tell the Enron people to not persecute California. This is a mess that he created, and he’s responsible. I wish they would impeach him. I rest my case. — Zeke N., Greeley

I was just going to respond to Jenni Bauer’s recent letter to the editor on the motorcycle run benefits that are ignored for their contributions to our community. I just praise her for writing that letter, and it couldn’t have been better said. It was a wonderful letter and so worth the time and the space that it was written. Well done, Jenni. — Brenda, Greeley

Hooray for Jenni Bauer. I think it’s great that someone spoke out for the good of the bikers that have done so many good things and not for just one ego trip. — Barb, Greeley

I turned on KFKA tonight, 1310, to listen to some Weld County football, and what did I hear? A game between Fort Collins High and Rocky Mountain High. I really don’t care about those two schools. I want to hear what’s happening here in Weld County. I just want know why the heck they felt they had to do that? High school football is poorly reported as it is. Do we have to go and listen to some school in Fort Collins? — Peggy, Platteville

There was an investigative report on TV about humane societies that bring false charges against the dog breeder, take the dogs and sell them for profit. What was the Weld Humane Society’s excuse for confiscating all those healthy corgis except that the breeder had too many dogs. By what standard, and who got all that money? — Leslie, Greeley

I just wanted to compliment Wal-Mart for leaving enough space in their parking area where you park and have room to open your door without having the sides of your car nicked and scratched. It’s one of the few places that does this. — Rose, Greeley
